The National Championships (July 23-25, Atlanta, GA) return for a fourth year with nearly twice the number of teams – as many as 600 – and three times the number of courts and space in the Georgia World Congress Center.

To create an event unlike any other held during the July observation period, the Tournament of Champions has partnered with three other qualifying July events to create a true summer championship, allowing for the determination of the best team in the United States at every age level, regardless of sponsorship or affiliation.

The Championships will be held in Building B of the World Congress Center, which allows for the construction of up to 60 regulation courts along with concessions and retail space. Located in downtown Atlanta just minutes from major hotels and tourist attractions, the GWCC is the perfect venue for this monumental end-of-summer event.

National Championships: Atlanta #1
